CIGAR-LIGHTING STAND.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 227,267, dated May 4, 1880. Application filed December 31, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH KIN'rz, of West Meriden, New Haven county, and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cigar-Lighting Stands, of which the following is a specification.

My improvements relate to lamp-stands for cigar-lightin g, and have for their object to produce a stand of ornamental character which may be packed closely for transportation and readily put together for use.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved cigar-lighter. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view on line 90 m, Fig. 1.

I 5 Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is the glass or porcelain fount attachec upon the spun-metal spindle a, that is secured upon the base b, of metal or stone.

c is the burner attached upon the top of the fount A and fitted with a glass shade, d.

B B are the tapering alcohol-cups, made of glass, metal, or other suitable material, and supported by the yokes O O, that are set around 2 the fount A. The covers f of cups B are removable, as usual.

The fount A, as shown is made of tapering form. The yokes O, as shown most clearlyin Fig. 2, consist each of a central ring portion,

g, around the fount, and the smaller rings h h at the ends, which receive the cups B. The ring 9 of the upper yoke is smaller than the ring of the lower yoke, so that when placed over the fount they are supported at the required distance apart, while the rings h of the 3 5 upper yoke are the largest, to conform to the size of the tapering cups B.

It will be seen that the rings 0 are retained in place by their own weight and the cups B are held without other fastenings.

In putting the parts together it is only necessary to place the yokes 0 over the fount and the cups B in the rings h, and these parts may be detached with the same facility and the lighter packed in small compass.

The above-described construction furnishes a handsome and substantial stand.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent A cigar-lighting stand having a fount, A, of glass, fixed upon a suitable support an d fitted with the detachable yokes O and cups B, substantially as shown and describe JOSEPH KINTZ. Witnesses:
